After pregnancy, women may experience many changes in their bodies due to the influence of hormones, as well as many uncomfortable symptoms caused by pregnancy. Although everyone's symptoms are different, most pregnant women will encounter some of the same problems. For example, eczema can be very overwhelming. What should I do if I have severe eczema on my stomach at 37 weeks of pregnancy?
If eczema is severe in late pregnancy, it is generally not recommended to use any oral antihistamines. You can consider using topical ointments, calamine washes, or simple anti itch washes for anti itch treatment. Of course, it is best to consult a doctor for the specific choice of medication, and not to self medicate.
After developing eczema on the stomach during pregnancy, it is important to avoid excessive scratching to prevent skin damage and infection. During pregnancy, it is important to regularly trim your nails and wash your hands frequently to maintain cleanliness and hygiene, in order to prevent accidental scratching and skin infections. When taking a shower, it is important to maintain a suitable water temperature to avoid aggravating skin itching symptoms due to excessively high water temperature.
If itching occurs around nine months into pregnancy and medication is ineffective, and the pregnant woman cannot tolerate it, it is recommended to choose cesarean section for early delivery. After giving birth, the symptoms of eczema will be significantly reduced.
